I got 4 of these when i saw them for sale at a warehouse club. Wish i had known how good that price was and how useful these would be! My thinking was it was a bit of a splurge but I thought it would make it a lot easier to finish the final stage of laundry in my house - which is where I have everything washed, folded, and stacked in a pile for each kid but then they rifle through it as needed but just leave the pile in the basement. Now every stack goes in a basket, easier to take upstairs, baskets collapse and don't take up much room between loads.
The kids were actually better about actually taking and returning the baskets than I hoped for - so much so that when my oldest took 2 of them to college, they complained that we no longer had enough at home! So I had to get two more.
Originally I had 2 that are black and 2 that are a gray kind of tweed looking print - these are both a slippery synthetic material. They have help up so well to not just laundry but various things I've had to tote back and forth for school activities. Recently I got 2 more in the "cream herringbone" - I didn't pay attention to the material because I assumed they were all the same. The herringbone is actually a heavy cotton. I kind of feel like it might prove less durable than the synthetic ones but I'm not sure why I feel that way. It's a thick sturdy cotton - maybe I just feel like there will be more friction when things rub and it might wear out? Willing to take a chance it I need to mend/patch them in the future. The frames/hinges are the same regardless of color and mine are all the "luxe" version which I think means it has the handle covers.
Really wonderful, handy baskets. If you see these on sale, grab them!
